How It Works

Three Steps to Your Score

Choose 15, 30, 60, or 120 seconds. Toggle punctuation or numbers for extra challenge.

Click the text and start typing the words shown. The timer starts on your first keystroke.

Get instant WPM, accuracy, and raw speed — and see if you beat your personal best.

Pro Tips

Keep your fingers on the home row (ASDF / JKL;) and reach outward instead of hunting for keys.

Train your eyes to stay on the screen. Looking at the keyboard is the single biggest speed killer.

A fast test full of errors scores lower than a slightly slower, clean one. Slow down to speed up.

Five minutes a day builds muscle memory faster than one long session a week.

FAQ

How is WPM calculated?

WPM counts every 5 correctly typed characters as one word, divided by the time elapsed in minutes.

What is raw WPM?

Raw WPM counts all typed characters including mistakes, while final WPM only counts correct ones.

Is my data stored anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser. Your personal best is saved locally on your device only.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes, though a physical keyboard gives the most accurate speed reading.
